It happened to me last night. In fact, it happens to me just about once a week. Gets me every time.

But like the article said, I think it is because of a weird sleeping habit. For me, it almost always happens when I take a nap. Last night, I took a nap from 6:30 to 10 and woke up. Was up till about 3am and then went back to bed and had one happen.

Yes I get this quite often. My girlfriend was once on the receiving end of a kick after I came about, and lashed out in panic at someone I thought was standing over me with a knife. She flew off the fucking bed and everything.

I usually don't see anything but ALWAYS feel an evil presence. Only one time I can remember seeing an alien lurking in a shadow and another time I heard childrens laughter from the hallway.

this would explain the weird dreams i had back in my old place.
pls see that 'i think my house is haunted' thread.

I always see shadows. I lay on my front facing away from the wall, so looking into the rest of my room. I always think I see someone pacing up and down my room and I can't do fuck all about it. On the rare occasions that I manage to 'break free' I end up kicking out, usually booting the wall and hurting my foot. Or in worse cases like already pointed out, my girlfriend bless her.

Freaky! I've had the shadow thing a few times. I'll think I'm awake (but asleep), look over, see a HUGE shadow over my bed, and start shaking like a vibrator, only this isn't sexual.

One time I was sleeping on the floor (bed wasn't comfy). As I was about to sleep I felt my body start to tingle (knowing this was an onset of sleep paralysis). I thought to myself "oh shit, I don't think I wan't to experience this while I'm on the floor facing the bed." Too late, sleep paralysis settled in, the hallucinations started, and I saw a pair of bright yellow eyes from under the bed. They glared at me and then launched toward me, scaring me so fucking shitless I woke up.

I thought of a trick that sometimes alleviates sleep paralysis experiecnes (it mostly works at night, mostly). When I know I'm experiencing it, I know I'm also hallucinating. So I don't bother trying to wake up, but start embracing the hallucinations and before I know it, I'm dreaming and conscious of it. Pretty cool experience.

yea it scared the shit out of me.

i haven't had it in a long time, but i did used to get it frequently when i was doing coke every weekend. i think it was more frequent during that time because it tends to happen when your mind wakes up before your body or when your body falls asleep before your mind...obviously that's exactly what happens when ur on coke.

i started a thread about this a long time ago and shared my story.

Yeah I had this happen a lot, once it felt like someone was moving my right eye-lid with their finger, while in this state. Another time it felt like a scary old lady was sitting on my chest and I was making noises to get my sister to wake me up, who was sitting about 7 feet away. But I wasn't able to speak only make a humming noise.
(off topic)Strange thing is that I recently quit herb, and I have nightmares like every night. Last night I had a dream where I was on a field trip with a bunch of unknown class mates, one of them called me a "fag" then they slit my throat.

HAhahaha this always happens to me. I will catch it JUST as it is about to happen and try and open my eyes but it is too late. And while it is happening I will tell myself, once I wake up I am NOT going back to sleep. But I always wake up and once you do, you are so reasured that going back to sleep isn't a big deal. Amazing how your mind can just do a 180 like that.
